AN AWFUL ACCIDENT.
Many LIVES Lost In n Railroad Acci-
dent.

ST. THOMAS, Ont, July IA terrible
accident occurred at the crossing Of the
Grand Trunk and Michigan Central rail
ways in this city July 10. An excursion
train on the Grand Trunk from Port
Stanley ran into passing freight train
on the Michigan Central made up of a
number of cars laden with oil The en-
CINE crashed into one Of these cars, when
the oil instantly took fire and burned with
great fierceness, communicating to cars
on both trains and extending to Griflits
warehouse, the coal and lime sheds ad-
joining the track on the west, and John
Campbelps dwelling on the east, all of
which were burned to the ground
with their contents. Engineer

ward car Of the excursion train was filed
with passengers, who made frantic efforts
to escape, but Notwithstanding hundreds
of willing hands were Immediately at
work to assist in their rescue. a number
of lives were lost. AT o clock when
thousands of people were cr0wding
around the burning pile one of the oil tanks
on the cars suddenly exploded, throwing
hundreds to the ground with great force
and scattering fire in all directions and
severely, perhaps fatally injuring many.
At $50 o, clock nine bodies were taken
They were bnrned to a crisp:
1t is almost impossible to ascertain
with any certainty the names of those
lost in the wreck until the arrival of the
late train from Port Stanley. There are
many conflicting rumors but it seems al
most certain that the engineer, H. Don
nelly, Mr. Zealand, clerk in j. s. Mich
olboro's dry goods store and child. The
wife and child of James Smithers, dry
goods merchant, were burned to death.
Mrs. Zealand was got out badly burned.

lst. Paul Pioneer Press,

Not so many days ago couple

Ryan for the right. They hailed
from some where in the valley of
the Red river district, and had mon
ey enough to make small ripple in
the city. The bride retired early,
but the groom, still feeling his oats,
went out to see the town. He Wis
tied number Of the prominent re-
sorts, and about midnight found
himself in the hotel elevator. Calm
ly transfxing the hoist boy with his
eve. he addressed him:
my boy-ish, Swhere's my birdish?
Swhere's my turtle dove I"
The boy, Of course, could not
answer him. But finding the num-
Der of his room he attempted to
take him there.

Counting the Cost.

There are many ways of entering
upon certain courses of action. One
is to be led by ones friends. An
other is to follow ones impulses.
Another is deliberately to count the
cost and then determine what to do.
All three methods are good in their
way and for certain ends necessary.
The first is perhaps most common
Parents have pretty definite views OF
what they would like their children
to do and TO be and endeayor to lead
them in certain paths, and most
children are willing to be led. The
majority of men and women are like
sheep. They follow their leader. Ii
one goes over the precipice, all the
rest follow. If one strong man in
vests largely in certain stocks all his
''setn follow suit. If the chief wo-
man in little town calls on the new
conner, every body calls on her, that
is, most every body.
Those who follow their impulses
sometimes accomplish what they
wish and oftener do not. A good
time impulse acted upon at the wrong
may get one into as certain trouble
as though the impulse had been bad.
Enterprises founded on impulse are
like houses built upon the sand. Sand
is all very well to fill in and grade
with, but it does not make a firm
foundation. When the winds blow
and the floods come, the house falls.
There are great many people who
upon impulse and without adequate
preparation begin some undertaking
they are only partly able to carry
out, and when they begin to founder
and 90 under, implore this friend
and that one to hasten to their res
cue and save them from perishing.
How many men have lost every thing
by indorsing for their friends in the
vain endeavor to save them. I'M
pulses have their use, but they can
not be trusted with the reins Of gov
eminent any more than Phethon
could with the chariot of the sun.
Impulses must be restrained and
guided by principle, or they will per-
petually get one into trouble. Par
ents can do much to regulate and di-
rect the impulses of their children
by steadfastly pointing out to them
the results rather than to definite
and well understood principles of
action. 1t takes great deal more
than good impulses to insure lasting
success. Principle prepares the
ground so that seed sown by impulse
or otherwise are not choked by the
thorns springing up.
Those who sit down and count the
probable cost of a new enterprise,
and then deliberately enter into it,
are most likely to accomplish what
they undertake. If it is only the
making of a garment, one must have
pattern, needles, thread, ETC., or
the work can not be done. If it is
the making of cake, there must be
sugar and butter and eggs and spice
and fire to bake with. But there are
multitudes of people who habitually
trust to borrowing from some friend
one or two Or more of the very es-
sentials required in doing the work
they undertake. 1t is no charity, it
is an injury to the persons thus bor-
rowing to lend to them. They
should be compelled to learn the val
ue accommodates by providing them
or by going without them. Indul-
gence only confirms an evil habit
